Video: The Croiman Psycho iPhone makes other modders weep with joy, envy {Engadget}
Apr 29th 2008 5:23PM Well, I guess someone put apple's equivalent to the red ring of death on his chained iPhone.
Audiophiles can't tell the difference between Monster Cable and coat hangers {Engadget}
Mar 4th 2008 12:51AM Damn, I guess electrons love monster cables if they end up staying to long in them and your sound is delayed...
On a serious note, in my opinion, obviously high quality cables are over rated!
A) you would need a really really bad quality cable to loose some bits in a digital feed
B) as for analog cables, as long as it doesn't pick up radio noise and kept as short as possible, it's good. Resistance is the only real problem in a speaker cable... Getting the right length cable and having a bigger gauge can help that way more that 0% o2 and zirconium enhanced, blabla... And for lower loaded cables like rca and audio, smaller gauge (lower capacitance, less loss of high frequency) and having then short helps with interference. But I think most of the difference between those cables is mostly theoretical and probably happens in frequencies we can't even hear.
Finaly, was the music you're listening to recorded using all super high quality cables and such ? Are the cables inside your equipment high quality ? Didn't think so.
Apple says WiFi-equipped iPods are the wave of the future... maybe {Engadget}
Jan 22nd 2008 6:03PM What's the point in having Wifi capabilities in an iPod when there currently are very few applications that take advantage of it and the 'big' (relatively to what it does) processor. Not to mention the crap Apple would probably have it come with it, 20$ for the apps, restrictive file sharing, basicly giving you an awesome product but cutting what it could possibly do in half, because it's not 'what it's intended to do'. argh [/rant]
Unless of course Apple is planning on opening it's portable platform...
Wouldn't it be awesome to have a program that allows you to access your home computer by wifi to take advantage of it's resources and basically use the 'iPod' as a wireless monitor/speaker/mouse/keyboard. But maybe that would be just too good of an idea, I guess modifing an OS to fit on the small screen and stuff would be just too much trouble compared to cramming more power in the iPod.
iriver's "a player" redefines fashionDAP {Engadget}
Jan 6th 2008 12:39PM It has a darn small screen and not to pocket friendly controls (I like the iPod for that, you can operate it easily even when it's in your pocket)

Microsoft-powered biped robot makes its debut {Engadget}
Nov 30th 2007 8:06AM Look on the bright side, if they ever come to take over the world, they will be hackable or they will just crash, because any kind of intelligence (including the AI of those robots that WILL take over the world) can't make microsoft seamless.
Does the Asus EeePC violate the Linux GPL? {Engadget}
Nov 26th 2007 8:00AM I admit that they are still probably doing financially well as of now but I think the general public is getting to be more aware that Windows isn't the be all and end all of what a PC has to be. You know, the general perception that computers aren't reliable machines is slowly turning into "windows is a poorly designed os"...
Does the Asus EeePC violate the Linux GPL? {Engadget}
Nov 25th 2007 10:54PM I don't see why people are whinnying. The Linux community is only trying to defend itself and the rules it's been playing by for the last decades while others didn't quite see the interest in it.
Now that MS is slowly dying, all of a sudden attention is going towards linux, witch I think is a good thing as it's a very viable option. The people protecting these licenses are basically making sure that the os (well mostly it's kernel) is still going for the public, not to big companies... as it could quite rapidly taken over.
Everex's $200 gPC back in stock at Wal-Mart {Engadget}

Another PowerBook violently explodes {Engadget}
Aug 6th 2006 9:44PM The thing is, people don't realize, weather you lappy has a "i" name or is slick white or has an OS named after a felin, it still is made in China by underpayed people and has the same components. Maybe the apple lappies are more brone to exploding, but the difference between PC users and Apple is that the PC users admit there are flaws in there comps. I really like Apple computers but I really don't like the hole cult serounding it, it's kinda like doing everything backwards and isolating yourself in your little corner....
